Key Features
-
Non-ToxicNon-Toxic
Bits that are made from non-toxic materials, unlike most plastics, rubbers, and metals, are a safer option for horses who need a gentler bit.
-
Increased PalatabilityIncreased Palatability
Bits that increase palatability often incorporate sweet metals (such as copper and iron) or flavored plastics which encourage the horse to salivate, relax their jaw, and accept the bit. They may be inlaid into the bars, be the roller or lozenge, or make up the entire bar.
-
Leverage PressureLeverage Pressure
These bits use indirect pressure that multiplies the amount of force exerted on the horse's mouth, nose, or poll. They are used by riders who have little to no contact or are looking for more finesse and control.
-
Direct PressureDirect Pressure
Bits that use direct pressure have a 1:1 ratio where the pressure exerted on the reins will be the same pressure felt in the mouth. They are used by riders who often have contact with their horse's mouth.
The Fager Penny Stainless Steel Fixed Ring Bit offers an all-encompassing solution for your bit needs! Crafted for unparalleled comfort with its impeccably smooth surface and center double-joint, this bit is shown to suit horses that have displayed discomfort with almost every other bit tried. Designed to avoid pressing against the palate or uneven pressure on the bars, the Penny bit naturally conforms to the tongue's shape, alleviating constant pressure on the bars. This innovative design also safeguards the soft tissue around the mouth and bars from abrasions, rubs, or sores, catering to even the most sensitive of horses. Made from Fager's standard stainless steel material which maintains the same exceptional quality and design at a more affordable price point!
